Every child in Head Start is encouraged to participate in a Health Fair which is done in the spring/summer, prior to school beginning. Each child is screened for the following: height/weight, vision, hearing, speech/language, blood pressure, dental, and developmental. The parent fills out a Health Packet which gives us some background information on each child, while the child is participating in the screening process. When the process is finished, the results are discussed with the parent. Referrals are made at this time if needed.

All children must have a recent physical and up-to-date immunization record. If not, Head Start assists the parents in getting this done in a timely manner.

Children receive their nutritional meals from the school system. A workshop is planned for the parents each year to receive more information on nutritional goals for their meals and snacks while at home.

The mental health consultant makes a visit to each classroom to observe the interaction of the children and the staff. They make suggestions as needed.

All Head Start Staff is trained each year in CPR and every three years in the Emergency First Aid.
